Accessories Why Do My Earbuds Not Fit My Jack On My S9?

[Christopher P]

Hello all! I just got myself a used S9 through my new provider recently (as in a few weeks ago, and it's a joy of a phone so far. But...the Samsung brand earbuds that fit the jack of my previous phone--a LG X-Charge--don't fit the input jack. As far as I know, it's a standard 3.5mm jack, as was the previous phone, but the earbuds' input simply slides in and doesn't grip or stay plugged in, and it won't connect properly. Is it a matter of jack size, or...? I'm puzzled, and I'd appreciate some input. Thanks, y'all!

yeah as far as i know the s9 has the standard 3.5 jack. couldn't find any info that says otherwise. have you tried other headphones just to compare?

Just taking a guess.. being as the S9 is a used phone, I suspect that the jack is worn out.

Hmm, the phone was in this side of new condition when I bought it, so I'm uncertain about the jack being worn out just yet? Would a set of wireless earbuds make a difference, here, do y'all think?

thats all i ever use. so the fact the my note 10+ does not have a jack does not affect me. my samsung buds works great for me. i'm not an audiophile like some folks here so it works for me.

I love going wireless. It would be a great work-a-round. You could likely have the jack replaced if you are set on having a wired set. I'm with ocnbrze and don't miss that jack.. haven't used a wired set in years.

What you're describing, it sounds like the headphone jack is shot. You could either get it repaired, or use wireless headphones.

Then it sounds to me like wireless is the way to go! Thanks for the good input, fellows!
